When someone has wronged you, your flesh (carnal nature) may want to take over so that you become enraged. However, being mad at someone NEVER solves your problem. In fact, it weakens your ability to subject feelings to God's command, which is to be slow to anger. God assures us many times that He will take care of your enemies, so there is no need to worry about it yourself. Pray for meekness and temperance to withstand tough situations that really test your patience!
That brings me to my friend Jason Roberts, aka "Conquest" (Jay Renegade), fellow Christian and ambitious independent-labeled rapper from New Jersey. He recently released an EP titled "R.A.G.E" an acronym meaning "revenge against God's enemies." The heavy metal, hip hop track expresses the tragedies of the Columbine and Virginia Tech shootings due to unlawful revenge, as well as Conquest's decision not to be vengeful of the near sexual assault/molestation he almost faced by a church pastor in 1998. This experience with corruptive church members and modern cases of sexual abuse in the church were catalysts for the creation of R.A.G.E, so it not only tells a story but raises awareness and gives warning: God will handle your situations!

Remember this...Romans 12:19 "Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, 'VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY,' says the Lord."
